Retool
Retool
Retool is the market-leading platform for building internal tools, used by teams at DoorDash, Amazon, Mercedes-Benz, and thousands of engineering-driven companies. The visual component library (tables, forms, charts, file uploads) snaps onto any database (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, Snowflake) or API (REST, GraphQL, gRPC) without boilerplate. AI features in 2026 include Retool AI for natural-language query generation, AI-assisted component configuration, and a built-in LLM component for integrating OpenAI and Anthropic into internal tools. Free for up to 5 users. Team at $10/user/mo. Business at $50/user/mo (adds SSO — a significant jump). Median Vendr contract: $750/year for small teams. Best for engineering teams that need to build admin panels, dashboards, and ops tools fast without frontend work.
Free: up to 5 users. Team: $10/user/mo. Business: $50/user/mo (SSO unlocked). Enterprise: custom. Median Vendr contract ~$750/year. Annual billing standard.
